SPLM-N admits losing strategic town to Sudan army
November 3, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) on Thursday announced its troops have entered the border town of Kurmuk after heavy battles with fighters from the Sudan People Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N).
‘With the thanks and blessings of Allah the armed forces managed on Thursday evening the 3rd of November to destroy the powers of oppression and aggression from the remnants of the so called popular army in al-Kurmuk town and to fully liberate and secure it.’
‘The enemy forces fled led by rebel Malik Agar leaving behind its equipments and weapons.’
Agar was the former elected governor of Blue Nile state until he was sacked by president Omer Hassan al-Bashir last September following clashes between SAF and SPLM-N.
Both sides traded blame over who started the clashes which saw SAF managing to expel SPLM-N forces from most of the border state with the exception of al-Kurmuk which was considered the rebel stronghold.
Yesterday the Sudanese president vowed that the town would be liberated before Eid Al-Adha religious holiday which starts on Sunday.
SPLM-N acknowledged that SAF took over Kurmuk but said they withdrew beforehand.
“The SPLM-N emptied the town because they were expecting the SAF to attack. But they are in many other areas of Blue Nile,” a SPLM-N spokesperson in Blue Nile Suleiman Osman told Agence France Presse (AFP).
“Don’t imagine that the SAF entering Kurmuk is the end of the war, or total defeat for the SPLM-N. They will fight back,” Osman said.
The SPLM-N spokesperson further said added that Agar was safe and unhurt but did not disclose his whereabouts.
Osman also suggested that SAF used chemical weapons in their assault on Kurmuk.
“Some of the injured (rebels) had strange bleeding from their ears and noses. I talked to one of them on the phone and he was in a bad way. It seems the government took a decision to use some sort of chemical weapon,” he said.
SAF’s victory would likely boost the government’s standing domestically as it battles SPLM-N also in the state of South Kordofan.
Khartoum also repeated accusations that South Sudan is providing support to SPLM-N in both states.

The So called SAF might have won this fight but they haven’t won the war yet.

In fact,I don’t like lie from the North.Omar Bashir is completely a lucky guy by the way, because no one is putting is eye on him. I don’t really understand why Omar Bashir attacked the South Sudan always and Salva Kiir Miyardit never attacked any area in the North? What is wrong with Salva Kiir?
I doubted that there must be something wrong with Kiir.

There will be a time when every Black Sudanese realise that they were being used to eliminate themselves by themselves. Even those who proud as true Arabian with brown colour will one day acknowledge what happening now as a the worse stupidity ever as one brother ordered to kill his own.
God help them!!!!

Silva Kiir cannot attack North becuase South cannot affort doing that. North can do such a thing becuase it’s winning both war and the battle while in other hand, South is loosing both. But the question is why cany South affort attacking North when it’s attacked. Your’re the judge and draw conclusion.

Al-bashir is the last dominoes to fall.Just watch to see how he will similarly wind up in the same path as that of Saddam and Gaddafi .Trannies are always complacent of the realities and it will be too late to turn the course.

In this juncture, I want to remind the interested readers on Commissioner Akot Maze who has paid highly and costed him his job because he no longer supports Kuol Manyangs policies of plotting and causing Low Nuer and Murle to kill and finish each other as a Dinka policy to let Murle and Nuer help him carry out their Dinka plot to eventually wipe both Murle and Nuer so that Murlelands and Nuer’s wi

We don’t want any of Kuol Manyang’s Murle puppets who plotted with him to suck Akot. We the Murle people strongly reject this plot and we ask the President Salva Kiir to distant himself from this plot. Akot must remain as the commissioner as long as he doesn’t resign. Right n
